When a commercial space serves more than one purpose, the challenge for the design team often hinges on creating a clear division between the operations while also achieving a cohesive aesthetic.  This was certainly the case at the Texas Ale Project.  This new craft brewery contains manufacturing operations (laboratory, 30-barrel brewing system, and raw material storage), wholesale keg sales, office space, high capacity coolers, and a tasting room,: all within 14,500 sq. feet of new construction in the Dallas Design District near the heart of downtown Dallas.
